Ryan "The Lion" Madigan currently trains under Chris Chard & Lorenzo Scott, while teaching at Jungle Fight Team in Northfield, OH and the new Evolve Training Center in Medina, OH. Already considered a top prospect in the sport, Madigan signed with the Karrington Group in late 2008 and now sees years of hard work beginning to pay off. "We are very excited to see Ryan competing on the sport's biggest stage. He is one of the most exciting fighters in the sport and soon UFC fans will have the opportunity to see why," commented the Karrington Group's Steve Hindman.

The Orrville, OH native is a veteran kick boxer, ranked as 4th in the world through ISKA and a veteran of the World Combat League. Madigan made the transition to mixed martial arts in June of 2006 at NAAFS Fight Nite in the Flats 2 and has since amassed an impressive undefeated record of 5-0, winning each of his fights in convincing fashion.
